FIVE MILE POINT
The unit belonging to the president of the Glimmerglass Condominium Association caught fire shortly before noon today and was largely gutted before the blaze was brought under control by firefighters responding from as far as Milford and Richfield Springs.
The unit was at 8 Box Seat Lane, occupied by Jim Webb, condo president, and Troy Nelson. The one next door, 7 Box Seat, a rental, reportedly to Glimmerglass Opera managers, appears to have sustained significant damage.
The two other attached units – 6, owned by Frank Vergari, and 5, by John and Katherine Kotz – appeared undamaged by flames, but it seemed likely there was some smoke damage.
Cooperstown Fire Capt. Mike Molloy, who commanded the first truck to arrive on the scene, said the Webb unit was “fully engulfed.” His first directive was to send the pump down to Five Mile Point for water to combat the blaze.
